Might have my foot in the door!

Had some spare time yesterday so started sending out some job applications for junior dev positions while i finish my CS degree... anyways started working on some osbot scripts and since yesterday went from writing simple script classes to full blown projects with packages and everything is looking awesome and thennnnn BOOM had my first ever tech interview on the phone... went for about 20 minutes and hopefully get an email to schedule a face to face interview later in this week the guy said on the phone!

 

Just a quick rant, very excited, I also plan to share some of the scripts I've been working on later tonight hopefully!

Any suggestions for scripts or the interview (fingers crossed i even get one - even if i dont; its a huge motivator) appreciated!

+ Look forward to seeing the scripts!

 

No suggestions, just be yourself & good luck

Congrats on landing the interview—that’s a huge step. I remember when I was finishing up my CS degree and working on personal projects, it was such a boost to get real-world feedback. For the interview, I’d suggest going over some common coding questions and maybe practicing with a friend or using online tools. When you share your scripts, try to include ones that show off your problem-solving skills or any unique features you've added. It’s a great way to demonstrate what you’ve been working on.

You should like the scripts I've been working on as I've taken all your advice on board!

Thanks for the comment! Absolutely agree as it's such a boost in my motivation even if I don't land the job, I'll be more confident on the next one!

I've been updating my github and I've shared it with the company aswell so hopefully they check out what I've been working on. I even added some of my osbot scripts to my github for them to look at

Why search for a job, instead you can create your own company?

I'm trying to find a reason to argue against you, but you have a pretty good point...
